Contentions

I am not a perfect human being, nor am I a perfect Muslim.
However, in this wave of " muslimah fashion " that is a tidal wave of hijab styles ranging from the creative to
the downright mental ones, I just want to make it clear.
There's a difference between halal and haram and that difference should be avoided as much as possible. A woman's aurat includes her neck. The part on hijab covering chest is one of contention as it could refer to either the clothes or the headcover.
When we start idolizing people who don't cover properly(I.e the obvious parts of the aurat) and calling them the forerunners of muslimah fashion, we are wrong. Haram police labels asid, in Islam, a wrong is a wrong, no matter how good your intentions are. A white lie is a lie still,so these idols are false idols, not the true ones.
Fashion is not religion. Life is not merely a fashion show, for us to be judged by others on how we look.
